Delawa will cover London and the South East, working closely with member firms to provide strategic guidance and ensure they are making full use of Paradigm’s proposition.
He has experience working across advisory firms in a support capacity, and was most recently compliance risk auditor at Stonebridge, where he focused on regulatory oversight, audit management and supporting firms in meeting compliance requirements.
Delawa has also had experience working as a mortgage adviser and in underwriting.
Paradigm said it was focusing on strengthening its senior team and support for members, with Delawa’s appointment following the recruitment of Louise Weiss as head of sales, Tom Hunt’s promotion to business development director, and Daniel Davenport’s appointment as business insights and team manager.
Richard Howes, managing director of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Nick to Paradigm. He brings a wealth of experience across compliance, advice and distribution support, which will be of real value to both our business and our member firms.
